Interview Video – Closed Captioning

Assignment Overview

Although mandated by the AODA, closed captioning of videos is a smart way to go. Videos that are closed captioned generate a transcript – unlike videos that are not searchable, this transcript now becomes a searchable document, thus increasing traffic flow to the video content. Increased traffic flow, increases search results and allows a journalist to report on recorded events, lift direct quotes, and ensure correct spelling of proper names.

For this assignment students will be using their Interview Video, previously uploaded to YouTube, and working with the YouTube Caption Editor.
